• Analyzed multidomain predictors posttreatment
• Evaluated current physical and cognitive functioning
• Assessed body image distress and occupational context
• Long-term work disability (LTD) is common more than five years posttreatment
• Current physical and cognitive health correlate strongly with LTD
• Body image distress and occupational context also significantly predict LTD
